Certain denominations, not religions, of the Christian church teach that a woman should not cut her hair, for instance many "Holiness" Pentecostal churches do not believe in a woman cutting her hair. But I don't know of any entire religion that teaches this, only some denominations in the Christian religion. Also, within Christianity, Mennonites and some Independent Baptists do not cut a woman's hair. This is because of an interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11.

No major religions have a particular law against the cutting of the hair. The Judeo-Christian Bible however states:

Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

Leviticus 19:27

This is probably the basis for Orthodox men leaving the hair at their temples uncut. Also the Rastafarian religion believes that the length of your hair (or dreadlocks) is a sign of commitment to your religion and God. As part of their religion members of Sikhism do not cut their hair, although some people choose to.

You are describing the Sikh religion. Sikhs are monotheists, and the men wear turbans because they do not cut their hair.
